  • In this video I show you how to learn the fanning technique for window cleaning by starting with a smaller squeegee and working your way up through larger channels, showing the benefits to the different sizes.

    Steve, I've been watching you since before I started my business, so thanks for the knowledge. Between you, Keith, Jordy and Luke and Rheanna, it's been really helpful.
    I have a new method I'm using that you might like. It saves a lot of water and keeps your water clean.
    The problem was, when I was on long drops (rope access), like 30 stories or more, eventually, the bucket of water turns to mud and the window cleaning gets worse and worse as you go down.
    We have boabs fastened to our 5 gallon buckets to hold our tools and I started bringing a little cup with me to fill the boab with clean water, and I never put my tools in the 5 gallon bucket. That is for clean water only.
    I can now do a full 50 story drop with one bucket of water and the water is clean at the bottom. I can just top it up and start a new drop.
    This only really works outside.

    So I cleaned my mother in laws sliding glass door and it looked clean when I left. I stopped by a couple days later in the late afternoon, and the glass had streaks on it, but it never showed up when I first did it. Can you explain why this happened? And how are you supposed to know if you did it right before leaving? Keep up the great videos.

    Thanks for All Your Video
    Just to remind
    Steel channels due to more bending in the engaging part compared to
    Brass channels have a wider angle
    This is due to the prominence when using the Excelerator 2.0 handle
    The lower part engages with the glass even at an angle of 40 degrees
    It is recommended to use a brass channel if using this handle model
    In the experience of rope access, this issue has been clearly identified for our work team
    But there was no problem in using brass or Steel channels with Ettore own handles

    If the rubber is wavy/not straight, can that be the cause of streaks?

    Really find your videos informative. Who knew I could wash windows like a pro... almost? How do you determine residential, window washing prices?

  • @coltenhalvorsen7857
    @coltenhalvorsen7857 Před rokem +2

    I think I finally understand how to fan correctly but I still leave streaks when do straight pulls. So my question is how do you do straight pulls ( with and without a extension pole) without leaving streaks?

    what about a video about soap ratio in the solution, too low, just right, too much, warm or cold water, what you can add as extra

    As a newbie, replacing the crap aluminum channels with the Ettore brass channel was a game changer. I could be wrong, but I think the Ettore rubber that comes with the super cheap handles is different than the Master rubber. Does Ettore make two different grades?
    Thanks!

  • @crystalclearwindowcleaning3458

    You are good at fanning. But with that window, a 20" squeegee, one stroke top to bottom would be much faster. Or at least 2 quick side strokes with an 18" would also do the job faster.
    Fanning is good if you don't have a big enough squeegee for one or two strokes down or sideways.

    I have a New England cape cod built in 1938, there are 8-12 smaller window sections vs that huge modern window. We have those in commercial properties or new construction. This technique would need a squeegie 2" wide. Maybe found at an art suppply store for detail silk screening?

      A 6” will most likely be perfect from my experience

    I find that I tend to see streaks after I’ve finished in low light. Prior to that the window looks completely clear and no obvious water streaking. Curious if this is normal, or what can be done to correct this.

    • @SteveOthewindowcleaner
      @SteveOthewindowcleaner  Před rokem +2

      Sometimes you may see something here and there, but that is only because its so clean that its showing every little imperfection, I would not stress it

      I don’t have any gutter specific videos, and I don’t offer it anymore but search CZcams and you’ll find a ton of content about it
